I recently upgraded to the Plex lifetime subscription and I’ve been making users for all of my family members. The only problem is that the account that I have for myself won’t let me change the username to my first name. It says that that name is already taken, but I don’t see any other users with my first name in the settings so I don’t know what to change to make it the way I want.
I think the username needs to be unique amongst all Plex users (worldwide).
I think you misunderstand. It’s the user within one Plex account not the username/email used to sign in. For example, my users name is (Luke) and my mom’s is (Susan). But for me I have to make it (Luke’) with the apostrophe or some other character to accept the name.
They are one and the same.
do you mean the “managed users” within the account? …they can be anything you like.
